Greek seaplane services drown in red tape

Andy Cornish: January 2016

Plans to launch a Greek Island seaplane service in 2016 appears to be drowning in red tape and it's not the first time that a scheme to link the islands with seaplane service has failed to get off the ground.

Despite laws being passed in 2013 to help speed up development of seaplane waterways, the Greek government failed to grant a single licence in 2015.

The Ionian island of Corfu is the only one to currently hold a license to operate seaplane flight but, as yet, its planes have nowhere to land.
